The Polk cheerleaders will join teams from other schools selected by the Universal Cheerleaders Association to take part in the pre-game performance. The UCA supplies routines that all teams will perform.

A large group of family members and friends will be traveling to Charlotte with the team, Flynn said.

The Universal Cheerleaders Association will have more than 480 cheerleaders from various high schools and middle schools in five different states (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Virginia) that will be performing together for this event.

It will be a big day for all the cheerleaders and their families that will begin at 2 p.m. with FanFest on Tryon Street in downtown Charlotte. The festivities will lead up to the game, which will kick off at 7:45 p.m. at Bank of America Stadium. The game will be televised on either ABC or ESPN.
